Keep us posted on how you get along with the Vics
Truth be told, I have been experimenting with alox for a few years, after I picked up an old standard issue Soldier in 2008. I was working in the Czech Republic, so I was in need of an excellent beer bottle opener.
Despite the relative lack of features, it made it into my pocket more than any other tool I own. I actually like how the minimalist tool count made me think a lot more about problem solving. And the cap lifter is second to none.
I am definitely a utilitarian user though so I am looking forward to putting the two most popular workhorse Victorinox tools through their paces.
Cheers!
